Images Of Munich

Nobody likes to harp on about the stereotypes attached to a city when describing it, but it's hard not to when talking about Munich. The Bavarian capital is birthplace of the beer hall where men and women decked in lederhosen line larger than life beers in front of thirsty tourists to the sound of traditional oompah bands. But there is a lot more to the city than that. Munich gets increasingly cosmopolitan every year and it has one of the best selections of museums in Germany. This is why it now rivals Berlin as the most popular city in Germany with travellers.

    History with some beer and sausage

    Munich is perfect for 2-3 days. Peruse the city centre artefacts through the free tours but also find time for the Third Reich tour to learn more about modern history. Dachau is an easy day trip to complete your time there. Famous for beer and meat dishes be sure to get around the main brewery restaurants and pubs.

    Insider Tip:Weisswurst is an excellent breakfast option but make sure to get to the AUGUSTINER brewery. It's the best in town, the Germans call it the champagne of beer. If you only have time for a couple of brewery trips, this should come ahead of the Hofbrauhaus.

    Lots of History

    Munich is a really cool town with a lot of amazing history. I would definitely suggest the free city tour. It was very in depth and the tour guide was very knowledgeable. I would also suggest taking a day trip to Fussen to see Hohenschwangau and Neuschwanstein. It was amazing!

    If you'd like to see some old European architecture, try out other city. But here's excellent with their modern art and contemporary art. very big city with a lot of shopping spot. But expensive

    Absolulely Lovely!

    If you're looking to do a tour- definitely do the Third Reich Tour. Very historically information and interesting. Just don't also do the walking tour. They overlap a TON. If you want to do Dachau, you can get there on your own for about 4 euros and have a guided tour through the site for about 3 euros. I would also suggest taking the train to see Fussen and the two castles there: Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau. VERY beautiful! And definitely take time to visit the Hofbrauhaus!

    Insider Tip:If you're staying in the region, but taking the train a lot, get the regional day pass for 25 euros. Be careful about the travel time limitations though!

    Great Munich

    I was in Munich for around five days while traveling around Europe, and I would stay for even more time. It is a beautiful city to walk around, with amazing views and impressive buildings. The fact that 80% of it is a reconstruction after the war doesn't make it worse; actually it is even more impressive to see how much care it was put in order to make the city look like it was before. The beer is a big plus, with amazing breweries where you can get the best beer in the world for a cheap price.
